Spend less time on repetitive tasks with the new automation feature in Grafana Assistant

May 27, 2026 By Kevin Minutti In Grafana
The ability to schedule regular tasks, such as cron jobs, has been around for decades. So why are we still running the same AI prompts by hand every day? As you use Grafana Assistant, our AI-powered observability agent, to stay on top of the state of your system, you likely find yourself asking the same questions. Maybe you want to know what changed overnight, or whether yesterday's deployment hurt latency, or which dashboards or skills are drifting out of date.

The inside scoop on alerting changes in Kubernetes Monitoring

May 27, 2026 By Beverly Buchanan In Grafana
Kubernetes Monitoring in Grafana Cloud comes out of the box with preconfigured alert rules that notify you about issues like CPU throttling, crash-looping pods, and nodes going offline. These rules are installed automatically when you set up the app, and they start evaluating immediately. But if you've recently reinstalled the Kubernetes Monitoring app and your alert notifications stopped arriving, or started looking different, you're not alone.

Why Clean Dashboards Improve Reporting and Decision-Making

Why Clean Dashboards Improve Reporting and Decision-Making

May 27, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Reporting affects how leaders judge performance, catch strain points, and set priorities. Yet many teams still work from crowded views, disconnected files, and stale exports. That arrangement slows review, invites doubt, and weakens confidence in every figure shown on screen. Clean dashboards correct that problem by presenting important measures in a clear order, limiting visual clutter, and making changes easier to spot. Better reporting, in turn, supports steadier choices across finance, sales, operations, and service.

Getting Started with gcx: A CLI for AI Agents and Grafana Telemetry | Demo

May 26, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
AI agents are only as useful as the context they can access. With gcx, your coding agents can connect to Grafana and query real-time production telemetry from your Cloud, Enterprise, or OSS environment. The best part: it avoids the upfront context bloat that can come with loading tools before you even send a prompt. gcx uses a CLI approach, so there’s zero token cost until your agent actually needs to run a query.

Generate test scripts from natural language with Grafana Assistant: introducing k6 Script Authoring

May 21, 2026 By Vicente Ortega Torres In Grafana
Performance testing is critical to ensure your applications stay reliable under load, but writing the scripts themselves often feels like a chore. Most engineers already know the scenario they want to test; the hard part is translating that intent into a working performance test. Even experienced developers who use k6 can lose time looking up syntax, configuring load stages and thresholds, or debugging boilerplate code before they can run a meaningful test.
